Frame
Construction : The frame was constructed
of extruded aluminum members that employed a
poured-in-place urethane thermal break. The
corners were coped, butted, sealed and fastened
with two screws per corner.
Sash
Construction : The sash was constructed
of extruded aluminum members that employed a
poured-in-place urethane thermal break. The
corners were straight cut, sealed and fastened
with two screws per corner.
Screen
Construction : The screen was constructed
of extruded aluminum members and the corners
were keyed and staked. The screen mesh was held-in-place
with flexible spline.
